Solution
LHS = `(cot^2θ(secθ - 1))/((1 + sinθ)) `
= `(cot^2θ(secθ - 1)(1 - sinθ)(secθ + 1))/((1 + sinθ)(1 - sinθ)(secθ + 1))`
= `(cot^2θ(secθ - 1)(secθ + 1)(1 - sinθ))/((1 + sinθ)(1 - sinθ)(secθ + 1))`
= `(cot^2θ(sec^2θ - 1)(1 - sinθ))/((1 - sin^2θ)(1 + secθ))`
= `(cot^2θ(tan^2θ)(1 - sinθ))/((cos^2θ)(1 + secθ))` (∵ `tan^2θ = sec^2θ - 1,1 - sin^2θ = cos^2θ`)
= `((cotθtanθ)^2(1 - sinθ))/((cos^2θ)(1 + secθ))`
= `(1(1 - sinθ))/((cos^2θ)(1 + secθ))` (∵ cotθtanθ = 1)
= `sec^2θ((1 - sinθ)/(1 + secθ))`
